Introductions for Caron & Marv Leff

We will be covering a wide range of Table Tennis related topics from amateur or what some may call Novice Table Tennis Tournaments, to Fundraising Events using Table Tennis as its vehicle to create both spectator and player involvement on a professional level. All our events planned will take place at the Art of the Olympians Museum, in Fort Myers, Florida. The Museum showcases the Art of Athletes that have participated in the Olympics. There are oil paintings, sculpture, drawings and other mediums of art representing the many talents of some of our greatest athletes, bringing the past and present achievements of our Olympic Athletes to the public and creating greater awareness of these athletes and the many facets of these high profile personalities.

During our years of being involved in Table Tennis we have met and become friends with some of the great athletes of our sport. My wife and I dated on the back porch of the great Laci Bellak giving us the opportunity to develop relationships with legends such as Sandor Glancz, Richard Bergman, Dick Miles, Bernie Bukiet just to name a few. It's hard to believe they are all gone, but never forgotten. This is as brief as we can make our introduction as to who we are and why we are here at this point in time. Keep hitting balls it's great for the body and mind and stay tuned for the latest info on Table Tennis at the Art of the Olympians Museum on our blog.
